Is this machine for people with low vision only? I am sorry, can somebody
please explain in more detail, or at least give me the contact information
of the company so I can find out more about it? Cause I have no idea what
you guys are talking about. Sorry, if this seems like a silly question to
you all, I didn't mean for it to be. I truly want to get more information
about the product.
